Plenty of schools have moved the starts of their games this week from 7:30 to 7 p.m. As someone who works with deadlines for a living, I'm cool with that.
This is what we got right now as far as games that have changed.
CENTRAL DIVISION
Colton vs. Rancho Cucamonga at Los Osos
Etiwanda at Chino Hills
Colony at Upland
EASTERN DIVISION
Palm Springs vs. Summit at Miller
Kaiser at Rim of the World
La Quinta at Serrano
Arrowhead Christian's football team was able to find a replacement for its forfeited game with La Verne Lutheran this week, as it'll host Boron at 7 p.m. at Arrowhead Christian High School. It's not a pushover matchup, as Boron comes in with a 7-2 record after clinching the Desert Mountain League championship this past week.
The Cajon-Colton bash, which will likely determine the San Andreas League champion, will be played on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Colton High School instead of Friday as was originally scheduled during the summer.
Makes for a great Thursday of football, as Kaiser and Summit will also butt heads at 7 p.m. at Miller High School.
With the football season entering its final week, its time for me to start putting together the All-County football team, which will run in the Sun on Christmas Day (and I'm sure Clay Fowler could use them for its all-Inland Valley team in the Bulletin as well). And to do that, I want to get as much pertinent information as I can, because unfortunately, I haven't found a way to clone myself and attend every area high school football game.
So if any of you out there might have a copy of your all-league teams (looking for Baseline, CBL, San Andreas, Sunkist, Sierra, Desert Sky, Mojave River, Christian, De Anza and Mt. Baldy primarily), shoot an e-mail to tj.berka@inlandnewspapers.com, clay.fowler@inlandnewspapers or FAX a copy to (909) 484-5574. It'd be much appreciated.
